great quintain, Nigel! A pain free world is the core of all I dream… kind dreams and thoughts here!!

Dearest Nigel and Christie, I am writing the same note to you both to thank you personally for honoring me with first place in your contest. Truly shocked and bewildered, I have never really excelled at anything in my life, until coming to this site. This means very much to me, especially because you are both such talented poets. Just a great big thank you from my heart to yours, for whatever reason you chose mine. It means so much to me. Love & hugs ~ and happiness to you both. Love, Shar

Sweet, sweet Nigel there would be no joy without sorrow. Both teach lessons sent by God to raise us up to a higher consciuosness. None the less the poem is very heartfelt and good! Light & Love Debbie Guzzi
